If you've never heard of GeekTool, this might give you an excuse to try it out.

Cheers.

I've been using GeekTool for a long time. Love it. I use it to display all sorts of things on my desktop: date, weather, list of currently running processes, computer uptime, etc. Basically, if you can write a Unix shell script, you can display it on your desktop. Good stuff.

Hey, mate, are you sure you're name shouldn't be Geeko? Long live GeekTool and Unix :-)

Cheers, and thanks for stopping by.
